Abstract: The present invention relates, in general, to attenuated negative-strand RNA viruses having an impaired ability to antagonize the cellular interferon (IFN) response, and the use of such attenuated viruses in vaccine and pharmaceutical formulations. The invention also relates to the development and use of IFN-deficient systems for selection of such attenuated viruses. In particular, the invention relates to attenuated influenza viruses having modifications to the NS1 gene that diminish or eliminate the ability of the NS1 gene product to antagonize the cellular IFN response. The mutant viruses replicate in vivo but demonstrate reduced pathogenicity, and therefore are well suited for live virus vaccines, and pharmaceutical formulations.

Granted: 1996-10-04
Abstract: The depilating machine comprises a roller protruding for an appropriate angular extension of its lateral surface from a window provided in the casing of the depilating machine. The roller can be driven to rotate by means of an electric motor and is mounted on a hub constrained to rotate with respect to the roller. The latter is cyclically translatable in both directions with respect to the hub and is provided with at least two sets of angularly equidistant slots, the single slots being parallel to a first plane perpendicular to the hub. A set of plates is fixed on the hub for each set of slots. The plates, at rest, are also parallel to a plane perpendicular to the hub and extend outwards, radially to the latter. The plates are elastically deformable perpendicularly to their plane, the outermost edge of the plates of each set facing an associated slot of a series of slots. The amplitude of the cyclical translation of the roller with respect to the hub is such as to bend the plates so that each of them exercises a desired pinching force on the edge of the associated slot it comes into contact with when the associated set of slots is in correspondence with the window. <IMAGE>

Title: System for the total and final inerting of asbestos (fibrous serpentinite)
Inventor: RICCOBONO FRANCESCO
IPC: C01B/
Filed: 1995-02-07
Granted: 1998-04-01
Abstract: This industrial invention relates to a system for the total and final inerting of asbestos (fibrous serpentinite). The said system provides a thermochemical process through which it is possible to completely eliminate the harmful properties of asbestos (fibrous serpentinite) by obtaining a new completely harmless substance. In fact, by providing sufficient energy (in the form of heat) and oxygen to asbestos fibres a radical reoorganisation of the crystalline structure can be induced which in this case passes from a triple layer phyllosilicate structural pattern to that of a nesosilicate of the forsterite type, losing those structural characteristics which give rise to its known toxicity. Tests performed demonstrate that at a temperature of 900 degree C inerting can be considered to be largely complete within 60 minutes. Atmospheric oxygen is normally sufficient to ensure completeness of the process, as a result of which the operating equipment (rotary furnace) can be fed merely by blowing in preheated air.
